| description | <b>Aim:</b> The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare clinical,
radiological and computed tomography results in the early diagnosis
of elbow dysplasia which might be a major pathological
problem in elbow joint in dogs.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> A total of Twelve dogs prone to articulatio
cubiti dysplasia were used as a materials. Dogs were subjected
to routine systemic and clinical examinations. The stance
analyzer was then used to measure unequal weight distribution
in the extremities of the dogs. Radiological examinations of the
cases were performed with and medio-lateral and cranio-caudal
positions in the flexion and full extension of the elbow joints.
The elbow joints of the cases were examined by computed tomography
(CT).<p>
<b>Results:</b> Cranio-caudal radiological view of elbow joint revealed
condylus laterale and mediale humerale, olecranon, fossa olecrani,
medial and lateral coronoid process. Ununited anconeal
process and separation from the subratrochlear foramen were
anatomically observed with medio-lateral and medio-lateral flexion
on radiological views. The ununited anconeal process can
be definitively identified in the medio-lateral, medio-lateral flexion
position. Fragmented or ununited medial coronoid process
diagnosis is confirmed by computed tomography in order to obtain
more precise information, as the radiological examination
may be misleading due to the superposition of the anatomical
elements. In particular, it was concluded that osteochondrosis
cases could be diagnosed by both diagnostic tools.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> The ununited anconeal process is thought to be easily
identifiable by radiological examination, and that CT does
not need to be used for this purpose. However, the diagnosis of
fragmented or ununited medial coronoid process revealed that
CT is superior to radiological imaging. |
